Fear of heart problem?

Posted , 2 users are following.

hi everyone I have been having chest pain for a week when I talked to my doctor on tuesday and when I mentioned some of the symptoms they told me to go to the ER asap so I did. After hours at the hospital they did blood tests, a ct scan of my heart, an xray, and an ekg test. Everything was normal but they did tell me my EKG was slighty abnormal. I have a history of anxiety and it was pretty bad when I was at the hospital but they did not seem too concerned but they did refer me to a cardiologist to do an echocardiogram which I have on monday. i would just like an honest answer if this is something pretty serious or has my anxietyjust gotten the best of me? I am 22 years old so I am currently very terrified at the thought of having heart disease. Although they did give me a GI cocktail which seemed to help a lot so I wonder if it is just GERD and my anxiety is just making me feel these symptoms.
